5. Telephone town halls aren't really town halls.

Insulated by the very fact it's a party line type phone call. Questions screened.

Democrats also do telephone town halls and I wish they wouldn't. Sure, it's a lot more effort to arrange for a venue and actually show up and spend a whole evening conducting it, but with a real town hall you get to talk to constituents face to face. Something repubs are finding very uncomfortable right about now.
